Thank you, sir!
That works fine.
But here is my advice:
   1, I think it is reasonable to give the users a chance 
      to assign the coding-language of a mail manually.
      For example, my working environment is English, but
      sometimes, I need to send a mail in Chinese. I don't 
      want to modify my .emacs and re-run emacs just for a
      single mail ( And change back again for my common setting ).
    
   2, There must someone had asked similary questions, but the
      mail list web-page do not provide a search function. It just
      give me the archieve sorted by date. It seems impossible to
      find some infomation in this form.

Thanks your kindness to answer me, and for the GREAT Mew!
